Real world conspiracies get a dramatic treatment.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Compared to previous episodes, Manhunt episode 4 moves through its primary plot points at breakneck speed, as Edwin Stanton's hunt for John Wilkes Booth hurtles towards its endgame. The episode also departs almost entirely from the true story of John Wilkes Booth in favor of exploring some of the historical conspiracies on both sides of the American Civil War, even if there is no concrete proof about the players involved.
The reason this is such a scandal is that it was considered a breach of protocol and honor to attack a sitting president, even in the course of war. That's the crux of Lincoln and Stanton's conversation; whether Jefferson Davis, as the leader of a nation that isn't actually recognized, counts as a sitting president. The two men concur that he doesn't, and Lincoln puts Stanton in touch with a friend of his, Admiral Dahlgren, who has a son who can be relied on discreetly.
6 Mary Simms Left Samuel Mudd Much Earlier Her defiant exit didn't play out as it does in the show. Manhunt episode 4 saw Mary Simms finally remove herself from the employ of Dr. Samuel Mudd, the Confederate sympathizer who treated John Wilkes Booth's broken leg. She travels to the land grant that she was given by the War Department and begins making a home for herself, and even begins teaching newly freed slaves despite having no formal education herself.
The Manhattan Fire Plot, for example, was masterminded by Jacob Thompson, the former Inspector General of the Confederate Army, per the New York Times. The real George Sanders was heavily involved in the Confederate activities in Montreal, and as the one-time U.S. Consul in London, made trips to Europe to further the Confederate cause. He was considered a revolutionary, and supposedly was involved in several European plots to assassinate leaders, hence the obvious connection to Booth.
3 Edwin Booth Was Not At Abraham Lincoln’s Wake He did, however, have a real connection to the Lincoln family. The contrast between John Wilkes Booth and his brother Edwin is on display in Manhunt episode 4. It shows that while John Wilkes Booth was an egotistical, hardcore Confederate supporter, his brother fully backed the Union and had stopped speaking to his brother over their conflicting viewpoints.
In reality, Sanford Conover was an employee of the Confederate War Department under the aforementioned Jacob Thompson per the UMKC School of Law. His real name turned out to be Charles Durham, and he notably gave testimony about the Confederate plot to "leave the government without a head" by killing Lincoln and his most powerful Cabinet members. However, his testimony is widely regarded as perjury, and was attacked by Confederate supporters as an outright lie.
